Neither Law Nor Sense.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 2s.-Judge
Gresham decided the famous Perkins con-
tempt case this morning. Perkins was
summoned as witness in the proceedings
before Commissioner Van Bum against sew
eral Democratic politicians. charged with
forgery of the election returns list last fall
and refused to testify on the ground that
the commissioner had no jurisdiction, and
was adjudged in contempt. The proceed
ingS were instituted before the commits
sioner under the decision of Judge Blodgett,
OF Chicago, in the Mackin case, that be-
cause congressman had been
voted for at the same election
the federal court had jurisdiction
although the result Of the vote for county
officers was involved in the forgery.
Judge Woods. of the district court, on ap-
peal, took the same ground that Judge
Blodgett had. In his opinion Judge Gresham
says such an assumption is neither good
law nor good sense and as the vote for
congressman was not in question at all, the
commissioner had no jurisdiction, and Per-
kins is discharged. The committee of 10O
will transfer the case to the state courts
and continue the prosecution.

Pending EegisIatiOn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The bill passed
the senate to-day for the adjustment of
railroad land grants and for the forfeiture
of unearned lands is substantially identical
with bill introduced by Senator Plumb as
a substitute for kindred bill passed by the
house. The senate amendments to the
Pacific railroad investigation resolution
with a single exception are understood to
be acceptable to the house committee Oh
Pacific railroads. but the clause providing
for the appointment of the commissioners
by the president ''by and with the advice
and consent of the senate" is regarded as so
Objectionable that conference is neces-
sary. The president has intimated that if
the words noted remain in the resolution
he cannot appoint the commissioners before
the assembly of the next con-
gress. His reason in so holding
is that according to the decisions
of the attorney general the resolution does
not create such an Office as can be filled
when congress is not III session. The bill
to prevent the employment of convict and
alien laoor upon public parks, and of con-
vict labor IN the preparation of materials
for public works, passed by the senate
to- day, has already passed the house and
now goes to the president. The house ar
bitratiOn bill passed by the senate to-day
is the bill introduced last session by Repre-
sentative O'Nelil, of Missouri. 1t was
somewhat amended by the house before its
passage by that body, but was not amended
by the senate 1t now only requires the
signature OF the president to make it a law.

A COlOred Appoinrec.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The president
to-day sent to the senate the name of James
NJ. Trotter to be register of deeds in the
District of Columbia, in place of James C.
Matthews, who was twice rejected. James
Munro TrOtter is a colored citizen of Massa-
chusetts, 4S years of age. His early life
was spent in the state of Ohio. where lie
began his education in the public schools of
that state. For the past thirty-five years
he has resided in Massachusetts,, where pre-
vious to the war he was a teacher. Soon
after the breaking out of the Rebellion he
enlisted as private in the .Fifty-fifth
Massachusetts regiment of colOred troops.
and was promoted for acts of
bravery until he became lieutenant. Upon
his return to civil life he was appointed
and filled for eighteen years the position
OF assistant superintendent of the registered
letter department Of the Boston postoffice.
From this position he was retired in 1884,

New YORK, Feb 2S.-Delegates repre-
senting New York and Brooklyn unions of
the 'longshoremen met yesterday at 173
Madison street and decided that all vessels
discharged OF loaded in any manner what
ever during the past strike shall be eXoner-
ated, for the reason that all 'longshoremen
refused to work on the said vessels. 1t
was also decided that the 'longshoremen
should take steps to protect themselves i'll
the future from all outside interference
claim to have had no hand in the recent
strike. One of the delegates said:
Some of our mea ,3sFere deceived, and not
knowing the influence at work they naturally
stood by their men. The merchants of New
York ana around here may rest assured that
the 'longShoremen are now taking steps to
prevent, in the future, repetition OF the
late disgraceful proceedings, and will never
involve themselves or others in such trouble.

cut his head Off and chopped him up. The
head was wrapped in paper ana carried out
to the woodshed. 1t was put in II lot OF buck
wheat. The body was all burned up and none
was given to the pigs. That is not true about
feeding it to the hogs. 1t was boiled and then
burned. Gates came that night and L told
him what had happened. He grasped my
hand and said l done nobly. He said be

morning, which he did. He took Druse'S head
with him. 1t was buried one mile from Rich

NEVER DE FOUND,
for the secret lies with Gates and l alone.
Charles PETIT overheard us talking about it
once, but he is dead now and cannot talk.
Gates is the only one who knows anything
about it.. There was another man with Gates
when he got the buckwheat. 1t was Ewood.
His name was Bill. 1t took eight hours to
burn the body and it made an awful smell. l
nearly tainted several times. George and
Frank Gates were there some of the time.
They did not see much, though. l sent them
down to the wood lot and had them carry
shingles. l killed Druse because l could not
stand il any longer. He was a brute, and
had not slept with him in twelve years. That
is all l can tell. Gates put up Frank to tell
what he did to shove it all on ne, but he will
get his reward some time. You must not tell
this to any one until l am gone. l don't care
how many know it then. trust to you TO see
it is all right You can say, too, that on my
dying day am more innocent of the crime
than those who put me up to it. freely for
give them all-al who so cruelty deserted
me. There are some names on that petition
sent from Warren which l could cover with
shame, but die in peace with every one.'
EXoNERATED HER DAUGHTER.
In compliance with the request of her
daughter that she should not leave blot
on her name, Mrs. DruSe asked HoratiO =.
Witherstone, notary, and one of the Sher-
IFS Jury to prepare the following affidavit,
which she signed with firm hand:
